Keith Ellison, one of the leading candidates to be the next chair of the DNC, said President Donald Trump has already done enough to get himself impeached.

According to U.S. Representative Keith Ellison, who is one of the leading candidates to be the next chair of the Democratic National Committee, President Donald Trump has already done enough to get himself impeached.

“I think that Donald Trump has already done a number of things which legitimately raise the question of impeachment,” Ellison said during CNN’s Democratic National Committee debate on Wednesday night, adding, “On day one, he was in violation of the emoluments clause. This is a part of the Constitution that says as president, you can’t get payments from a foreign power.”

“The day people checked into his hotel and started paying him, who were foreign dignitaries, he was in violation of that law. There’s already a lawsuit filed against him. And right now, it’s not about only Donald Trump. It is about the integrity of the presidency,” he continued.

Former Fox News analyst Jehmu Greene, who is also a top contender for the DNC chair spot, agreed, saying, “When he commits an impeachable offense, the Democratic Party has to be that last line of defense for our Constitution and for this country. We don’t have the luxury to take a back seat as this man is arrogantly marching us towards fascism.”

The CNN debate was the last before Saturday’s vote for the new DNC chair.
